haha, thanks

Hope I do not get too bored too soon, well the builder should get bored before me, he had it longer :)

When you get bored just put a bigger turbo on it. Response gets boring quickly.

I will look out for your next thread, titled ' I love my car BUT its missing something' ha ha

I think you should relocate that number plate just quietly.

And I hope you don't have another misfire. That would be beyond a joke

I like it there, no obstruction for the air and you do not have to bend it at each end to go into the original position , a lot of Plates look like they have been nailed on, see great looking Rs and shitty plate positions and conditions ?

Not worried if it is missing again, I am not going back to Sydney and I am sure I will find someone closer and go from there.

Shit mate if everything worked the thread would closed and my life as I know it is over :(

Just watch this spot mate, I might have to steal your name for the thread :)

I never got sick of a car with response and have been loving response for over 55 years, but it took about 2 klm to hate lag and want to sell the car.

Big turbos are exciting and I am sure my car would be great with a big modern turbo, that is, if I could ever use it :/

Each to his own mate, just got to love cars and driving them :cheers:

Old wives tale........ You can always use it..... He he ....... Always. :D

haha, but getting it up to 7k and dropping it at the lights or out of Woolies car park is not a good look, fun no doubt but is frowned upon by the boys in blue :)

Where is the RPM on that Graph?

Is it 300kw just under 4000rpm?

Max torque is extremely early - beauty of 3.2L ay.

I want to compare my graph - same power just .6 of a L down.

Mmmmmm, some falsely say it is the case. Never had to do it myself. I think people talk a lot of shit really, or just don't know how to drive.

The next tune I have done will have RPM and you will bet a comparison , I find these Dynos without the rpm to be a pain. I will try and have the few things I need done ASAP and it should be interesting to see if they can do more with the tune and cam dialing ?

Is there anyone reading this that can put the revs to the KPH.

Paul was saying that I have lost 5.2KW but at 18.5psi not 22psi on the last tune , as you can see the psi drops off from 24psi @ 351kw and makes full power @ 18.5psi of 381.7KW, so I guess it really did not loose anything with the new dump ??

Stuffed if I know how it works :/

Looks like your making the same power with less boost. That's a result of a better dump (good thing)!

Also what Hadouken is saying may also be true, the spark could be blowing out which is why there is now less boost.

If this is the case there's an easy solution to this problem.. It's just more $$$

You might be right about the driver , me :)

I had a T78 so not a new age turbo but it was hideous as a DD , but I guess we all have our own idea of lag for a STREET CAR, " not track or hill climb." as I know shit all about this type of driving, but I know once the revs are up they are great.

Turbo is too small. Turbine housing too small which restricts flow and chokes the engine. In this scenario you have no choice but to cut boost.

It will be interesting to see what an e85 tune does because if it makes no significant difference then the turbo selection is the problem.

New coil pack ?

Interesting that the boost tapers of so much, would be alot better if it could hold.

What wastegate and what boost controller peter?

He said he cut the boost , but I do not understand that as the last tune was 22psi and this was at 24psi to kick off and dropped off to 18.5 psi?

I put the PT6262 CEA Turbo on it as a 2.6l, left it there to see how it goes.

Personally I do not care what E85 does , I cannot buy it here, just like having the option and would love to feel the difference from pump .

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
